Heritage & Culture

It all starts with a conversation

Preserving the past.
Protecting the future.
Creating impact today.

Visitor experience, enhanced. Environments, preserved. Impact, amplified.

This is what partnership with CBRE for heritage and culture spaces means.

Why work with CBRE?

Your space is a link between the past and the future – and it will continue to inspire people for centuries to come.

So you need a strategic partner who understands its importance. Who knows how much your work matters. Who’ll make long-term decisions, no matter the length of engagement. And who’ll work at your pace, taking you in the direction you want to go.

Your work matters – and we feel truly privileged to be able to support it. We’re proud to work alongside some of the best-loved and well-known places and institutions in towns and cities across the United Kingdom.

We support custodians of sites, buildings, priceless collections and artefacts across the UK. We monitor, maintain and improve environments including museums, historical buildings, libraries, parks and estates.


Protecting and preserving collections at the Natural History Museum


The world-famous museum is home to multiple environments, including collection spaces, laboratories, instrument rooms, visitor and retail spaces. These spaces contain 80 million objects that form part of the National Collections, which we maintain on behalf of the nation under the Act of Parliament (British Museum Act 1963).


We operate a Building Management System across the entire museum portfolio to maintain optimal temperature, light and humidity conditions to protect and preserve these for future generations.
